Dancing for the Health of It

Dance Out Diabetes is a non-profit organization that addresses a critical component missing in most diabetes programs: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY! Our mission is to help individuals prevent or manage diabetes through dance and education.

“I finally found the place I belong. It’s great to have a dance spot where people won’t freak out by seeing my insulin pump and know how to support me if I go low. Plus, the variety of music keeps me interested. I no longer have to stay up late to go to a crowded, alcohol and smoke-filled club just to dance!” -Julie, San Francisco, CA
